Given how the stock collapsed and is stabilizing back up Trump probably does mean to back off. If there is anything consistent it’s that he backs out when the pay day doesn’t look forthcoming

While you are not wrong here I was more trying to hint at Green Energy which folks (even myself) were yelling to adopt when it came to Russia invading.

Man if only there was some type of Domestic energy source that could have also benefited the climate and folks are pressuring for. If that existed then Europe wouldn’t find itself caught between two different Super Powers looking to rule the world

Yeah sorry but if all our basic needs could be provided via AI and Robots then there is going to be an increase in immigration.

Some to escape, but the rest because with basic needs fulfilled they will have to availability to travel for personal pleasure and such.

Or you really don’t understand the profession in question.

The Tech bros are not the standard of a Programmer (if they even are programmers by trade to begin with.)

And ass lawyers that defend the corporates and dictators are not the standard of a lawyer by Trade.

It’s Capitalism that is to blame as things like AI are profit generators

So I guess it’s China’s turn at the Graveyard if ISIS-K keeps being successful in harming Chinese Nationals and the Taliban failing in protecting China’s interests

Stop data collection and AI implementation

“I only want people I like to join. If you say no I will punish you.”

The thing is there is no way to entice this that wouldn’t also make it hard to properly enforce that proposed transphobic policy.

Actually with the direction things are going it’s not only trans people the Administration has to worry about getting easy access to fire arms.

Turns out yes, you can’t have a dictatorship in a nation where the population is well armed

Oh indeed that there is certainly a big flaw and I hope the Wikipedia volunteers can counter that

Am I wired in that I myself personally don’t like these “flexible schedules” systems?

Not disregarding them entirely as no doubt for others it’s a benefit.

But for myself I honestly prefer having a set consistent schedule. Preferably the weekend (and only because of what the job I have weekends is the busy time compared to weekdays.)

Not when the source is paying that part of the bill, AKA the AI company (or in this case Microsoft.)

“You can plug our site into your AI models. But you need to pay the estimated cost of the increased traffic plus some odd percentage.”

I am honestly only guessing myself since greed doesn’t make sense for a non-profit foundation that is funded entirely by good will donations

The thing is when it comes to Veilguard the good bits seemed to of been the Mass Effect Teams contributions, and their the team that didn’t get the boot from the last mass layoff

I am referring to the reply comment from surewhynotlem. They say that cost is 180 million while Wikipedia has 170 million on hand. That is a 10 million deficit.

While probably not enough to shut down the site it is still operating in the red.

Where I was going is explaining how it’s possibly not greed. Just the foundation looking for another revenue source that theoretically would not ruin the site.

That alt being a deal that gets Wikipedia more traffic

Well as mentioned Wikipedia seems to be in the red and not making enough donations to pay for the expenses. So maybe the foundation is thinking it would help with the deficit.

Also chances are Microsoft will instruct Co-Pilot to prioritize Wikipedia whenever it scours the internet for information.

Think it like that eye rolling Google paying Firefox to be the default search engine deal.

You do know Programers are behind the Fediverse correct?

It’s a non-profit foundation with the majority being volunteers. If greed was the case one then would have to ask is why not just go ahead and inject ads

Now if GW made nice and let fan works be allowed
